Good grief! I’ve just seen an advert for back-to- school school uniform!

[Quantly]

Didn’t most schools in England and Wales only break up yesterday?!

When do schools in Scotland and Ireland go back?

We’re England and on our third week off

It's late. Normally they advertise before schools have even broken up.

Dd broke up 2 weeks ago - ive already got her uniform for Sept :/

It's the first proper day of holidays here. I've been browsing school uniform. Both children moving up a tier (we have first/middle/high schools). That's a lot of uniform!!

Yep Lidl newsletter advertising back to school deals...

my reaction ?

oh do fuck off!!

but I suppose it's to be expected when they advertise Christmas in Sept. Easter in January...

A lot of people buy now to spread cost or just to get it out of the way. It’s not that shocking.

I saw back to school stuff a couple of weeks before they broke up.

South east England on week 1 here.

My kids go back on the 16th August. Scotland

I went to Primark today. Full of winter jumpers, thick trackie bottoms, puffy coats and a thick 'oodle' type thing.
What I actually wanted was some shorts and t-shirts. You know....cos it's JULY 🤣

School here broke up on 8th July so into 3rd week now, went and got most of it yesterday, will wait till the last week to get shoes as DDs feet grow fast and I'll get a couple of new cardis from the school office when she goes back on 30th August.

We are roughly half way through...NI...so yes i will be thinking about it in a week or two...monthly salary...they finished end of june...go back end of august..

DD’s school broke up on Tuesday last week -England.

Better to get it now than be panicking and rushing from shop to shop the week before they go back to school. It's eminently sensible

That’s nothing, my local TK Maxx has all the Halloween stuff in stock and I’m absolutely loving it 😍

Northern ireland finished end if June and go back introduction days last week of August full start 5th September

Three weeks time, we’re pretty much half way through up here. But also they have been selling school uniform up here since the start of the holidays.

Yep loads of back to school stuff, my lad doesn’t break up until this Weds..

It's not early at all. I work for a supermarket clothing warehouse and we have lots of halloween costumes and Christmas jumpers getting stocked 😁

M&S have been doing 20% off it since before they broke up. It was even the case when I was at school

My kids are still in school!
But the uniform, stationery etc has been out for ages.

Scotland here. We came off 30th June and back August 16th

I once tried to buy some gloves in January. No chance. It was wall-to-wall bikinis as far as the eye could see.

Here in the States they’ve had Halloween stuff out since just after July Fourth. Decorations, costumes, candy, everything.

im in the states starting November 1st and hoping to pick up halloween stuff, sales would be a bonus 😍😂

I'm in Ireland and one kid has been off almost 2 months at this stage, the other kid a month. They go back at the end of August. But we are halfway through the holidays so I have bought some uniform at this point and will be buying the rest in the next week or so. Uniforms here tend to sell out if you leave it any later.
